## Key points

- GTA 6 is reported to need 210GB on PS5.
- Clearing downloads could avoid buying extra storage.
- External drives can store PS5 games and run PS4 titles.

## Summary

GTA 6 is reported to require 210GB of storage on PS5, making it one of the larger installs of this console generation. The size matters for players already short on space, who may need to make room ahead of the reported 12 November pre-load.

The report attributes the figure to PlayStation Game Size, a source that tracks upcoming PlayStation installs. It argues that clearing unused downloads or moving PS4 games to an external hard drive could be cheaper than buying an SSD, as a 1TB SSD is said to cost about $150 and a 2TB upgrade about $250 to $300. A Seagate external drive costs a little over $100, while PS5 games stored on it must be moved back to the console to play.
